Abstract

PURPOSE:To improve strength, reduce weight, make gas generator assembling work easy and rapid, and improve occupant constraining performance by fixing a gas generator to the lower part, formed to be narrow, of a storage container, and holding an air bag body by a step part formed at the upper end of the narrow part at the lower part of the storage container. CONSTITUTION:An air bag device 11 is provided with a storage container 13, a gas generator 15 fixedly stored in the storage container 13, and an air bag body 18 fixed to the upper part of the storage container 13 by a bolt or the like. The storage container 13 is formed to be narrow at the lower part, and a step part 23 is formed at the upper end of the narrow part. Since the air bag body 18 is held to this step part 23, there is no fear of the air bag body 18 stored in the folded state falling below the gas generator 15, nor there is any fear of the stored state collapsing. The storage container 13 can be made lightweight since the lower part is narrow.
